Live the good life in
Binsar, Uttarakhand...
Men huddled over lazy afternoon card games with fluffy dogs
snoozing around them outside small, quaint shops that sell
candy you last saw as a child. Lush, green terraced fields
draped over the Himalayas like patchwork quilts. Fresh, crisp
mountain air – The four-hour drive from Kathgodam to Binsar
serves as the perfect indicator of what awaits you in the sleepy
little town located in the district of Almora. Expect all things
good for the soul – a rustic, no-frills way of life, languid days
filled with birdsong and treks, and breathtaking views.
At the Club Mahindra Binsar Valley Resort, expect all
that and a warm, homey sense of belonging.
The resort, with its 31 elegant, well-appointed rooms, each
with a splendid view of the mountains, serves as the perfect base
from which to begin your exploration of the idyllic surrounds.
Choosing to spend most of your time at the resort is a good
decision too – there’s plenty to keep you engaged. Sign up
for the wide range of activities including tree climbing, ziplining
and horse riding, or seek out your favourite spot on the lawns
and get some reading done with a breathtaking view of theWEEKENDPLANNEROut of
